Welcome to the inaugural edition of IONinsights, your go-to digest for mastering the essentials of laboratory interpretation in clinical practice. In this debut issue, we set the stage with a deep dive into three cornerstone diagnostics:

Urinary Analysis 101 – Understand the building blocks of urinalysis, from physical properties and dipstick chemistry to microscopic sediment. Learn how to detect signs of infection, renal dysfunction, and systemic disease with clarity and confidence.

Decoding Bloodwork – Demystify complete blood counts (CBC), metabolic panels, and key biomarkers. We break down patterns in hematology and biochemistry that guide everything from diagnosis to treatment monitoring.

Blood Gas Analysis – Explore the art and science of arterial and venous blood gases. Get to grips with acid-base balance, oxygenation status, and how to interpret ABG results in real clinical scenarios.

Let’s decode diagnostics, one insight at a time.
